The Taller Shell

Beneath the waves, in the lawless frontier of Abyss Gulch,

Sheriff Lefty Suleman wakes to a catastrophe: his leftmost

arm has been surgically stolen, and the thief—a

brilliant and bitter nautilus—is building a god from the ocean’s

fi nest limbs. So begins a trilogy about broken things and the

creatures who refuse to discard them. Across three books, the

Gulch outlasts a mechanized king, answers a Silence that offers

the mercy of forgetting, and opens its gates to a rival civilization

that comes for the one thing that cannot be stolen: the way a

community remembers. Lefty must learn that true strength lies

not in what you hold, but in what you choose to let go. A rich,

Shakespearean undersea adventure, The Taller Shell is a tale of

vengeance and mercy, memory and repair, and the shells we

build chamber by chamber.
